FLOR NUBE
Sara Lupita Olivares | Poetry
searched the sky, no sound, coyote hung in a tree by hindlegs
you are given glimpses of heaven, rarity, later will it be much different
tulle, entity like trees, planetary, heard only the air before I’d thought
of layers, waves, sky unsegmented go where you unpiece, which connects
vibrancy of force and mending, we are under clouds which do you love
